LG G4 H815 Hard Bricked - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
I am new to posting but here goes. I recently upgraded to V20c using kdz file via LGUP,however I tried downgrading to V10d the same way and there was an error, now my phone is completely dead...will not charge, no download mode and no recovery mode. It is completely unresponsive. Is there any hope of bringing it back to life? it is still in warranty so I can send it back to LG.
Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks and I look forward to getting any feedback

[Q] [Q&A] D855 soft bricked, stuck at beta Android 5

HI guys, I need help from some caritative soul please!! I'm desperate.
Some of you might have already read about my case: I rushed, last weekend, to flash one of the beta Lollipop versions that hanged around (v19h); I only flashed bootloader and rom.
Now, my phone does not boot to LAF (download mode), nor recovery (TWRP) anymore, because of those not being signature-compatible with new bootloader.
And, since I am obviously not rooted, I am stuck to this version, unable to get out: I can't flash KDZ, or flashable zip on recovery.
Today, I have tried literally EVERYTHING suggested on XDA.. with no luck....
I am basically stuck with a extremely expensive paperweight... any ideas to help me?
RIght now, my only choice is to return it to insurance/warranty, but... what could I possibly say? .. They might laugh at me when they see the Android 5.0 version screen....
Any kind of ideas will be extremely appreciated... Thanks!
Attempts I already tried without luck:
* Flash new/old KDZ or TOT with Flashtool
* Flash new/old KDZ or TOT with Flashtool 2014
* Any ADB attempt
* Any fastboot attempt
* The dreaded RED 2? ...
*[FIX] Unbrick LG G3 stuck in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode

The best advice I can give to you is that if no solutions become available to you, depending on the warranty, I would water damage the phone so the warranty does not reject your claim. Otherwise you may have to play the waiting game until developers create a solution.

Are G3 phone OEM warrantied for water damage?
Water-damaging the phone is a risky way to go. I was under the impression that water-damage is not covered, especially since most phones even have a moisture-indicator strip on the motherboard for detecting it. Even if it was covered, what if they do reject warranty due to any reason(including software tampering?). You'll actually end up with an expensive brick then. Atleast now you have a working(albeit buggy) phone.
I'll suggest to wait till the devs can find some way to help you. Was going to suggest you try the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode method but it looks like you've already tried that.
Hi, I have the exactly same problem. But after some digging i found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660566 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860
I think that is a long shot, but if somebody provide "debrick image" - (following istructions from the top of the thread) from their D855 devices with lollipop firmware (19h or 20A) it can be worth a try.
Sorry for my english.

LG would not warrantied the phone if its waterproof. They specifically asked you if you crack your screen or has been water damaged. If you do, you either pay a hefty price ($150) or they can refuse to fix it.

Do you have any tip to what to do?

Help save a bricked lg g3

:crying:
My issues is quite complicated. Please be patient and read on.
Less than a week ago, I bought an LG G3 D855. It wasn't brand new and definitely out of warranty.
It was on the 4.4.2 Os version but I couldn't update it because I couldn't locate the UPDATE CENTER and after some research online, I found out it was because it was rooted. I couldn't find a Supersu application anywhere on the phone anyways but Root checker confirmed that it was rooted.
I downloaded the stock kitkat firmware in a .tot format and I tried flashing using LG Flash Tool for TOT but it failed because "Device version is different"
I checked the Imei online and it stated that the device is a Sprint LS990 but the details embedded in the phone all say it is D855
I checked online and found a couple of posts about this error and one user said he was able to fix it by flashing the actual Sprint .tot with the lg flash tool. I tried that but it didn't work. It still said "Device version is different. Check BIN or dll"
I checked online and found results pointing to a generic .dll file for G3s and I downloaded it but when I used it on the Flash tool, it resulted to an error "CrossDL blah blah"
So I found a Marshmallow kdz file. LGUP won't see my device model so I was able to flash it after editting the software in my build.prop to D85510n.
***I have always changed the port to COM41 in all the steps I used
The LG UP detected my model and it flashed to 100% but got stuck on a bootloop by loading the lg screen, freezing and restarting by it self. It never gets to the homescreen.
I downloaded lollipop kdz reflashed using LGUP in a form of downgrade and it got to 100% and got stuck at the lg screen while trying to reboot.
I redownloaded the stock kitkat rom and used the Lg flash tool but it failed. It said 'PID null IMEI Null"
I used LGUP to reflashed. It came to my understanding that the LGUP can flash both kdz and tot. So it flashed to 100% but got stuck at the lg screen and I have tried all I can but it is stuck. It can go into download tho. I don't know what to do about the IMEI. I don't know if the last flash retrieved it. I don't kniw what to do.
It no longer shows as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial
Please can anyone help me?
I just need my phone to work again. I was stubborn and now I regret it. I should have just stuck to kitkat. I'm so desperate to get my phone working that I wouldn't mind Android Froyo Os if it was ever possible.
PLEASE HELP!!!

My thanks to Litblogger and xda. I got it fixed with your help on whatsapp, Litblogger. My phone is currently back to stock. I couldnt thank you again because the phone is now network locked. Maybe we could speak on facebook. My user name is Gilbert R Ssenyonjo.

Folks.
Got the same problem now (with my wife's phone). I'd appreciate it if instead of helping people privately you'd tell everyone what to do to fix the problem.
I had the same problem, downloaded .tot file via IMEI check (can't remember where from) and used that .tot file with BoardDiag, flashed everything as in tutorial (google it), it was 4.4.2 Android, couldn't update it (software is up to date) so I rooted it, flashed twrp 3.0.0 and installed Fulmics 8.0, it works now just fine

Yes, downloaded LG Flashtool 2014, downloaded kdz for Poland H81510E... and it won't work.
I'm booting phone into download mode, and i get info that "Update stopped due to an error".
Did i'm making mistake in kdz or what?
Try LGUP and flash a v20 kdz.
Try flash random v20 kdz, if problem wont stop that pm me, Im from Poland too

Well, thanks guys for advices, but i decided to put my LG to service on Monday 6th.
I got it back today...
... with changed motherboard and new battery and with new warranty
As for me, LG bought today a new very loyal customer I was a bit shocked, cause i thought that repair will cost me around 200 PLN... well, fools are well protected by higher powers
Therefore, i think that this thread may be closed

Ok it's a shame. I do not even use this phone for two days. I'll see if the warranty can handle it. This is the second time that a LG brand phone deceives me as well. In any case never again this brand's phone.

[help] QFIL files for LG G4 F500L (Korean)

Hey guys, as the title itself suggests I have a lg g4 in the Korean version F500L that after I installed a European stock rom of android 6.0 the brickou phone, so far so good since I knew the problem was in the firmware because it still showed that screen when removing the battery, the problem is that I installed an eMMC file (if I'm not mistaken this is what the file is called) from lg g4 h815 with QFIL, and from then on the phone died and stopped to show that screen when I took the battery, I did some tutorial here from the forum where I was able to install a corresponding rom of my F500L, and after that the phone makes noise and lights the LEDs but shows nothing on the screen, so I wanted wondering if anyone could help me by posting somewhere for me to download the QFIL file of the right version that is on his board which is the F500L so I can fix my cell phone.

Before you screw things up even more, suggest you refer to this thread: [GUIDE][9008][EDL|QDL][QUALCOMM ONLY] Unbrick via external sdcard (no QFIL!) and ask the author of the thread steadfasterX for some help - reference the OP (original first post by the author) and refer to the paragraph titled, Support / IRC Channel as you will get the best direct help there to solve your mess, if it is even possible now. He knows more about the LG G4 and the problems you are facing than anyone else in the LG G4 forums. You may ultimately be facing replacing the motherboard but that is for steadfasterX to determine.
